We're in the South and it shows. Nothing like a fish fry on a Friday!

Are you close to Stoke-on-Trent, @moleymole.bsky.social? I admit my UK geography is dreadful, and I'm not sure where you are. I know @sonningbear.bsky.social is in Stoke, but are you close?

Food Network has an Olympics Italian Week promo, with a voice over "Italians love to bake" while images of a tiramisu are on the screen... Uhh....Food Network, as you should know, there is NO baking in tiramisu. It's a refrigerator dessert. Unless you bake the lady fingers from scratch, no baking.

I haven't been in the US for years. I am loving the PuppyBowl ads! I'm sorry I have plans on Sunday so I'm mot going to be able to see the PuppyBowl. #FurryTails #FurryReaders

I know it's crazy talk, but what would happen if collectively, we decided not to start Easter the day after Christmas, and waited until ohh, say March, to put out the Mini Eggs and Hot Cross Buns?
